Still waiting for my trickle down from Reagan, Bush, Bush, Dictraitor.
Trickle down economics was disproven shortly after it came out. Why are people continually surprised that it's just another face of fraud?
Clinton and Obama made the right decisions, right @rbreich.bsky.social?
Money makes money. It's a hill - whichever side you're on, the ball naturally rolls that way; debt becomes more debt, wealth becomes more wealth. I don't know why we ever bought into the idea that "let rich people become richer and have fewer restrictions" would help alleviate inequality.
@velshi.com so appreciate the way you replace the greasy orange mug shots with dark profile silhouettes or rear view balding head combover photos. So much less traumatizing for audience than the frontal visage view. Thank you!

No middle class is result!
the natural progression of how greed works. When allowed. The decisions weren't effectively made by the citizen, as much as a few wealthy elites have.
What is it about this particular Republican bullshit that makes it so hard to kill?
It's not a "hoax", it's a "long con", run by the 2nd most successful con artists in the history of #AmeriKKKa.
It's not that trickle down economics didn't work, it's that it was allowed to continue unabated for 40 years. Now we're surprised the benefactors own everything.
A hoax....?? You don't say.. since Reagan I've said "The rich drink fine wine and their piss trickles down our backs. That is trickle down theory"
Trickle down economics is, indeed, a hoax perpetrated on America by the rich!

You'd never know it by the media. BIllionaire-owned media, that is.
